If Jude Daniel tries to vote, poll workers won't be able to find him on the rolls, even though he filled out a voter registration form in August. "It was important to me," said Daniel, a 19-year-old Miami resident. "It would have been my first time." Instead, Daniel's voter registration form was one of 179 found in a box in the office of ACORN, or Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, according to lawyers representing him. "They'd been sitting in the corner," said Mac Stuart, the convicted felon and former ACORN employee who turned the box over to his lawyers this week after he said a friend gave them to him. "That Miami office is in shambles."ACORN was sued Friday by two lawyers in Fort Lauderdale for disenfranchising 11 South Florida residents, one from Broward and 10 from Miami-Dade County, by taking their completed voter registration forms and not turning them in. The lawsuit alleges that the registration drive was a subterfuge, the real motive being to gather signatures for the successful petition to get the minimum-wage increase on the ballot. It accuses the organization of illegally paying workers for each voter they registered and selling the names to a union-based group in Washington, D.C. The case sets the stage for a possible challenge of the minimum wage ballot item, if it passes. "These are first-time voters from the underclass, and they screwed them," said William Scherer Jr., a Republican operative and lawyer who filed the case with attorney Stuart Rosenfeldt. He said the residents are a mixed group politically, and all but one of them black. The lawsuit comes on the heels of an announcement last week from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement that it has opened a statewide investigation of ACORN. "So far the only group we've identified with certainty in north and South Florida as having connections to some of the voter fraud issues is ACORN," said FDLE spokesman Tom Berlinger in Tallahassee.
